    That's just terrible:eek:
    Probably a better option would be to just find a nice grass covered lawn that you could skid along like any good dog:p

    Get used to it, blokes

    Yeah I was going to say, being environmentally friendly is only one part of the equation. Aussie made is a pretty big draw. When supplies normalise I will be keeping my eye out on this brand. Thanks.

    Yup disregard the label. Some make claims that aren't true about flushability.

    Damn. I guess they are inherited from their own countries where there are different standards.

    Google "fatbergs". I won't post any pictures here though. The mods might call me out for disgusting pictures.

    Sustainable toilet paper? It’s oxymoron?
    Seriously if you want to save the planet? Leave it behind and stop existent.
    That is the only way to save it.

    Sustainable in this case meaning it is manufacfured using recycled paper to start with, not Sustainable as in the toilet paper is reused or repurposed after use....

    FYI ABC Tissue which owns Quilton, Cotton soft and a couple of other brands, is a true Australian family business success story. Started from the founders garage in the 80s, now the family has something like 400,000m2 of industrial land on the east coast just for its combined manufacturing and logistics operations.

    I think I might swap to this Australian business when I next buy. This is what I love about the forum. We can all learn something and even change course. ;)

    But I did like that some profits from the other place went to help those who don't have toilets. I guess I can still donate to that cause in another way.

    When the other stuff is less than half what you're paying now, you could donate the difference and on top of that, get a tax deduction for your donation.
